In another column will be found a
statement of a contract made be-
tween Mr.. j. White and Mr.. Clark
at the Capital. There must be
something wrong if Mr.. Whites
statement is true. He informs
us that Mr.. Clark will give him no
satisfaction and the contract th at
was made cannot be found. Mr..
White further states that the
bids were opened in the presence
of witnesses and that they knew
that he was to do the whole of the
work.

The Washington BEES scribe
in company, with Capt j. w.
Jones. paid his respects to Camp
Geo. Washington, on Monday
afternoon. We first called
on the Captains cmmanding, the
several coIored companies as there
were but three, as we had heard
a great deal of talk about the
Richmond State Guards, we intro.
duced ourselves to Capt. R. A.
Paul, who kindly offered his SER
vices to give any information
desired. His company has won
many prizes, and may win ma
tional prize. The present officers
are: Capt. r. A. Paul; 1st Lieut.,
Gillliom; End Lieut., R. A. Har-
rison, and AZ enlisted men.
Our next visit was to the At
tucks Guards of Richmond.
We were introduced to Gait
Emmett Scott. The company Off
GERS are: Capt. Scott, LIST Lieut..
Cobb, End Lieut. Grimes, and 42
enlisted men. After looking about
for a few minutes we spied the
tall oak, Capt. Arthur Brooks,
whose attention was engaged by
a lady acquaintance, We deci led
not to interrupt him, hence we
tackled 1st Lieut.. VIM. FL. Lee,
also a favorite with every one
who knows him.
We reached the top of the hill
near, Head Quarters; where We
found Go. A. Cadet Corps, locat-
ed in good quarters Lieut.. Dod-
sou, who was in command, at the
time invited us to take a seat in
g large wicker bottom chair, which
we did and was thankful for the
invitation. As we had been soldiers
ourselves, we knew where to find
good accommodation. Being the
guest of Lieut.. Dodson we felt at
home: One of the non-commission
staff, suspiciously cycling US, we
aceidently over heard him inquire
uneasely whether we were repre-
senting the BEE or Advocate.
When informed that it was tn e
former, he became quiet and left
for the Mess Tent. The officers
are Capt. Arthur Brooks, LIST
Lieut. f. L. Dodson Commissary
Sergeant J. S. Coolidge, and 40
men, we then took peep in to
the mess tent, which was presid.
ed over by jollie little cook,
with strong coffee, possibly, spik-
ed; though all of the boys are
temperance. Also silver plates
lined with gold (not) beetstake
frying and in fact every thing
that is good. We then stroll
ed over to the guard house, but
found it vacant.

Mr.. Thomas Phoenix, who was
discharged from the Folding Room
Government Printing office, never
could find Negro sufficiently COM
petent to promote. We hope that
his successor, who is said to be a
gentleman aud rewards merits,
will not follow in his footsteps.
Mr.. Benedicts' treatment of tie
colored people in his Office deserves
to be commended. He knows no
man by his color.

When the Vicksburg and Mem
phis companies leave this mortal
soil, we would be willing to bet,
that there will be Cadets i'm heaven
while these two companies will

The cut throats and blacklegs,
who refused to turn out with the
Cadets should be placed in the
guard house.

SALE OF THE CANAL CORPUS UN
CONSTITUTIONAL.

The following is an extract from a recent
article by Hon. Charles Marshall in reply
to the distortions Of late speech delivered
by him by the Baltimore Sun:
"Now, it was about the sale Of the corpnS
Of the canal that was speaking, as that is
the only sale under discussion in connection
with the subject of u constitutional conven-
ton, and my proposition was and is, that
under the constitution as 1t now stands, the
legislature had no power 70 authorize the
sale Of the corpus Of the canal under the
mortgage.
"Under the constitution the States inter
est in the canal can be sold only by the
Board Of Public Works, and such sale can
only take effect when ratified by the ensu.
ing General Assembly. Consequently, the
authority to sell the States interest in the
corpus of the canal, attempted to be conferred
upon the trustees Of the mortgage by the
act of 1878, is cold under the present co'astitu.
ton.
"But inasmuch as the exercise of that
power may not, and probably would not
affect the vested rights of any other credi.
tors of the canal, it may be that ne,o con-
stitution might give validity to the act oil
1878 in this particular"

Thoughts Suggested to Granger by
"0ld Fogy's" Letter Of August 10th.

Mr. Editor The letter of "Old Fogy,
published in your issue of August 18th, was
calculated to mislead those who do not take
interest enough In public affairs 10 keep
themselves informed as TO the past and
present.
The old gentleman seems to think we
should have new Constitution. l would
like him or some enc to tell US, the rank and
file, what we will gain and what especial
need we have at this time for a new Consti-
tuition.
|, for one, think il would be very poor
economy 10 do away with the three judge
system That was the only reason he gave.
As it is generally believed that our judiciary
Is the only honest and interrupted branch
of our government, and as 1t is more diff
cult to buy or influence three than one, it
should be let alone. Some persons think,
and they are possibly right that, zone way
10 reduce expenses is TO do away with the
three judges elected from the citizens and
make II the duty Of one OF the Circuit
Judges 10 sit alternately one day every week
or tive weeks, as may be necessary, rs the
Judge Of the Orphans Court, thereby saw
ing to the county the salaries of the present
judges and the expense 10 the widows and
orphans Of employing counsel TO tell them
ofien what their duties are and how to per-
form them"
To be charitable, we think "Old Fogy."
In his zeal for a Constitutional Convention.
overlooks the fact that there are various un.
settled social questions which would make Il
very difficult, as well as unwise, TO make a
new Constitution, for II is probable that we
may 6nd It necessary In the course of a year
or two 10 amend the one we may now make
Why not let good enough alone and get
needed changes now, as we would have to
then, through the Legislature by amend
ments, as the present Constitution provides |?
1t has the power TO alter or amend, or for
that matter, to provide for the making of a
new one at the will Of the people, or as the
exigencies OF the times may demand.
Neither is the Grange so short. sighted as
TO oppose the spending of $4,000 IL they
had any guarantee that the result of Con.
vention at that cost, or even more, would
relieve them of the present heavy burden
of taxation. II is a well known fact. that the
tax rate Of this county has increased IRON 70s
cents in 1875 10 69t In 1885, aud the same
this year, while the assessment In the same
time has increased $97S, 500 upon real estate
and $734 400 upon personal property, total
increase Of 81 ,052 ,024, while personal securi-
ties have decreased sal All 10 the same time.
Any one can readily see that this result
has been accomplished by the powers that be.
Have we any reason 10 believe that they are
or will be any more careful OF the peoples
Interest now than they were when the pres
ent Constitution was framedi We, many
